This app is a timer for Merlin Mann's Procrastination Hack, aka "(10+2)x5".

The idea is that you commit to working on a task for 10 minutes, not necessarily completing it, but doing something to move it closer to being done. When the timer ends after 10 minutes, you have exactly 2 minutes for a break to do whatever you want - read email, surf Reddit, whatever.
✭ Repeat 5 times to hack your procrastination into oblivion!
✭ iOS4 devices keep the timers running in the background!
What's New in Version 1.8
✭ Fixed iOS4 multitasking bugs - timers should always fire now even when you jump out to other apps. Sorry about that!
✭ Retina icon goodness!

Customer Reviews
Brilliant.
Thank you for the motivation I needed to get my darn homework done.
It is fantastic!
This app keeps me on track when it comes to completing those little annoying but necessary tasks that take less than 30 minutes to knock out.
Works well.
Chronic procrastinator here. This works well enough, helps me stay focused. I recommend this app and the book "the now habit."
Recommendation- allow us to change time intervals. I'd love to do 25/5 splits. 2 minutes of break isn't enough sometimes.
